GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) is a worldwide hands-on Earth Science project in which students around the world take measurements and make observations. Kids can take earth games and quizzes and read papers submitted by other students.
The project is conducted in close partnership with NASA and NSF Earth System Science Projects (ESSPs) to study and research the Earth’s environment.

From site: Walk in the Woods is designed for third through fifth grade students to gain an appreciation of nature. Sometimes students are not able to go to a forest preserve or woods, so this brings the woods to them.
From site: Why do volcanoes erupt? How are rocks made and destroyed? Why do rivers wiggle back and forth? What sorts of animals roamed the Earth long ago? These questions and many more can be answered if we know a little about GEOLOGY! That’s the study of the Earth.

EPA has developed tools to help individuals (and households) reduce greenhouse gas emissions and take action. Businesses and organizations interested in educating their employees and members about what they can do at home to help protect our climate can also use these tools.
Use this online calculator to obtain an estimate of your personal greenhouse gas emissions or your familys greenhouse gas emissions. Then move on to the next section of the calculator to explore actions you and/or your family can take to lower your emissions while reducing your energy and waste disposal costs. For each action you choose to take, the calculator displays the amount of emissions you could avoid and how that amount relates to your total emissions.
Action For Nature (AFN), a U.S.-based non-profit, has yearly competitions to recognize and reward students, ages 8-16, who take action to solve the world’s tough environmental problems.
AFN has held this competition since 2003 to honor the work of young people all over the globe who have done creative environmental projects. Prizes include public recognition, money, and certificates.
